Bovine Meat and Milk Factors (BMMFs) are DNA molecules found in beef and cow's milk which have been linked to the development of cancer—particularly colorectal and breast cancer. [1]
The potential connection between BMMFs and cancer has been made based on assessments of epidemiological data [2] [3] [4] and the investigation of antibodies in human serum. [5] [6] Research has also suggested a potential link between BMMFs and neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis. [5]
At the end of 2017, evidence was presented that BMMFs in human cells show long-term survival, through the identification of BMMFs' RNA and protein products. [5] [7] In February 2019, evidence was presented of a previously unknown infectious agent in the blood serum and milk of Eurasian cattle that could indirectly trigger the development of colorectal cancer.
